Guide to Streaming Retro Consoles on Twitch (OBS Version)

1. A Twitch account.
2. OBS or Xsplit (I personally use OBS, though Xsplit works fine)
3. Dazzle DVC 100 (You can find this at Best Buy or online) ~ $70
4. Three (3) RCA Y splitters ~ $15 (I got these at Walmart for $0.25 less than Best Buy).
5. 12 foot (goes from TV to Dazzle) and 4 foot RCA cable (the second is for the NES unless you already have one) - $10
6. A TV within 12 feet of your computer. That being said, you can plug your game into the Dazzle and play directly through what you see on the broadcaster, but it will have a slight delay and it will screw you up at times in game.Optional (but highly recommended) Items

1. RCA Switch Box - $25 (optional, I find it easier to use a switch instead of trying to constantly switch out the systems)
2. Additional RCA Cable for use with switch box.

Dazzle and Cable Installation

1. Install your Dazzle on your PC. Use the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

2. Put on the RCA Y Splitters. Put one each on the Yellow, Red, and White inputs.

3. Connect the long RCA cable to one of your TV's RCA Inputs, and to one of the ends of the Yellow, Red, and White inputs of the Dazzle.

4. Connect the console RCA cable to the corresponding end of the other available RCA Y splitter ends (NES will only have Yellow and Red, so if you wear headphones you will only hear out of the right ear).

Welcome to The Art of MMO War

The purpose of this project is to take the writings of classic authors (such as Sun Tzu’s Art of War) and apply universal principles of war to modern Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs or MMOs).

Because these principles are studied by military strategists at length, and apply even today to modern military warfare, it is easy to deduce they can help to guild leaders, guild members, hardcore player versus player enthusiasts, as well as those who delight in playing against the artificial intelligence game designers develop in a player versus environment setting. It also at times includes suggestions to game designers on how to create worlds and mechanics to increase the joy players experience while adventuring.

Look at these writings as an insight towards the games you play, and how you play them. Even the most simple strategy can lead to the greatest triumph.
